Grenzo is a scheming goblin in the High City of Paliano on the plane of Fiora. A former prison warden, he is the de facto leader of Paliano's goblin underclass.[1]
Description[ | ]
Grenzo has a huge frame for a goblin, but always walks hunched over and clutching a staff. He created a network of power through his knowledge of the elaborate labyrinth of sewers and drains that riddle the city of Paliano. He has a key to every lock, a blade for every job, and not a shred of scruples to go with either.[2] Grenzo's agents swarm the sewers and crawl through the night — mercenary killers and spies, dispatching problems and watching for opportunities to blackmail.
History[ | ]
Grenzo used to be the dungeon warden of Paliano. After the elf Selvala killed king Brago, Grenzo released her from the dungeons in a bid to kill the artificer Muzzio. His plan to rid Paliano from Muzzio's artifact creatures backfired when Selvala released the constructs in his tunnels.[2]
When Marchesa became queen, she fired Grenzo as dungeon keeper. Put out on the street, he became the leader of a thieving gang of goblins and often incites mobs to violence.[3] He found an ally in the planeswalker Daretti, who was targeting former colleagues of the Academy for revenge.[4]
Thunder Junction[ | ]
At some point after the Invasion of Fiora, Grenzo traveled to Thunder Junction via omenpaths. There he became a jailer.
